If anybody is interesting for this book, here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/133128755/Microsoft_SQL_Server_2005_Reporting_Services_Step_by_Step.zip

I got my exam today in the morning.
Being studying for this the last 2 months, everyday.
I already work with SQL and it wasn’t that easy.

35 questions and 12 sims in 170 mins.

I spent a long time studying XML. Waste time, only 2 easy questions. Well, for me, now it’s easy.

Study more about Mirroring, Views (indexed views) and Backups.

The sims are trick. Some looked incomplete for me. Poor questions.
It’s good to have had a good practice with SSMS.

The Microsoft Training Kit book is incomplete about Assemblies and CLR.
Read extra material to understand that. 2 questions and 1 sim about it.

Go ahead and good luck. I got it, 1000!

I’ve studied the book SQL 2005 Training Kit and now I’m practising with some exam simulators I got free on the net. I have one month for my exam.

Does anyone know how long the exam takes? How much time to spend in each question? Some tricks?

Passing or failing all come back to post about the exam. Wish me luck as well.

I am taking 70-431 in a week.

Were there any questions or simulations for managing XML data? I am wondering how much time I should spend on memorizing all FOR XML formats, XPATH and XQUERY expressions, SQLXML and such?

Thanks.
